Our primary conclusions are based on a comparison of the longer term
paleotemperature changes from our reconstruction with the well - documented temperature changes that have occurred over the last century, as documented by the instrumental record.
Not exact matches
Our study did not directly address this question because the
paleotemperature records used in our study have a temporal resolution of ~ 120 years on average, which precludes us from examining variations in rates of
change occurring within a century.
... the 20th century portion of our
paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, can not be considered representative of global temperature
changes...
A: Our study did not directly address this question because the
paleotemperature records used in our study have a temporal resolution of ~ 120 years on average, which precludes us from examining variations in rates of

... contains a remarkable admission: «[The] 20th - century portion of our
paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, can not be considered representative of glbal temperature
changes, and therefore is not the basis of any of our conclusions.»
Marcott quote @RC yesterday: «the 20th century portion of the
paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, can not be considered representative of global temperature
changes, and therefore is not the basis of any of our conclusions».
Although they now apparently concede that «the 20th century portion of our
paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, can not be considered representative of global temperature
changes, and therefore is not the basis of any of our conclusions», this was definitely not the impression left by the authors when the article was published, when it was hailed as supposed confirmation of the Hockey Stick.
Above we read:» Thus, the 20th century portion of our
paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, can not be considered representative of global temperature
changes, and therefore is not the basis of any of our conclusions.»
What is a 4th grade Science teacher (or a 12th grade AP physics teacher) going to do if one of her students asks what it means for Figure 1C of the Marcott graph given the recent caveat: «20th century portion of our
paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, can not be considered representative of global temperature
changes, and therefore is not the basis of any of our conclusions.»
